Its annoying but i think its a pretty easy fold without a good read of villain making this sort of play in the past with air.

FT facing a significant overbet as the CL
I found this to be a somewhat odd spot. The villian was neither super tight nor Laggish. I won't say anything else about him because I want to see what people think of this spot in general.

Re: NLTRN - short Villain reraises AI
Given your PF raise I think this is a call.
Its not a call you enjoy making...but you cannot play timid at 25/50 if you opponent start to make a habit of pushing you off pots.
The facts are...

Button is shorter....he only has to call 12.5k And if the opener folds he'll be getting a damn good price.

on 6th, giving him a 3 and another unpaired card less than 8 in the hole I have about 37% equity.

Re: 1/2 Stud High: 4AA 5th Street Decision
Ok, I've been on vacation for a while.

If you raise 5th you should check/call 6th ONLY when facing a relatively straight forward player. Carlos'...

Re: razz: Checking the river w/ a a 6, HU
You have to bet the river.
I can't imagine an opponent with A2 or A3 in the hole instantly putting you on a better hand...so he'd probably make it 3 bets if he was beating your on 6th.
Since he...

Re: razz: Was the play of my hand standard?
Carlos,
I bet 5th. But check calling doesn't bother me. I bet because there is a significant chance he has already paired OR has an 8 down (in which case you are ahead).
I think a check...

Re: Thought I\'d Post One
I don't like it.
1. If you opponent is sane his 3rd street 3-bet suggests he has more than Ts. He at least has Ts with a good kicker.
This makes it harder for him to fold the river because he...

Did you consider raising the turn to protect your hand from possible high cards (which are played more often vs button raises). You also maaay fold a few 89 type hands.

Re: 180 man: final table bubble
With your stack, and a 5 handed table I could raise or fold this.
I would raise if I've been quiet for a while. I'd fold if I had recently shown down crap, or if I'd stolen a few times recently....
